I had a set of piano black installed last night. The wheels look great, and the tires feel even better. However, my wheels were upgraded from the stock 18's (which doesn't truly satisfy your question regarding 19's) but I thought it would be good information to share.

19x9 +20
19x11 +20

245/40ZR -19 Continental ExtremeContact DWS
285/35ZR -19 Continental ExtremeContact DWS

Stock suspension.

Forgestar FTW!

I love your choice of offset with those widths. I have the +24 and would do +20 if I ever ordered a set. I love your choice of tires too....that is what brand I am getting next.

I bought my car with the wheels though. With the 11" rears a 305/30 looks great...only downside is that its smaller than stock diameter. I wish I could get some 305/35R19.

I think +24 is pretty flush with stock height and +20 keeps you flush (at the top of the fender) with a drop. The only caveat would be if you run a front camber kit...that would push the top of a +24 on a 9" wheel to be flush with the fender while dropped.

I parked next to an AMG 6.3 yesterday that had some Gunmetal 19" F14s. It looked nice.

Thanks, Nismofo.

I don't foresee a drop in my future, though. I live in Plano, and the neighborhood I live in has massive dips and road humps. I have to slow down to a crawl just to clear them without scuffing the front lip on stock suspension.

Awesome we're neighbors. I'd love to see the piano black in person. Do you go to the cars & coffee meet at classic BMW every month? Its Saturday morning...not sure if I'm goiing yet. But its the best car meet in DFW.
